Decided to post yeaterday's concert's happenings. Was too tired yesterday to post, so here I am! I couldn't concentrate during lectures, and kept counting down to the concert, haha. I just couldn't help but feel nervous. Yet, I was tired. I don't think I like the feeling of feeling tired, excited, anxious and eager. It's a feeling that makes you feel as if you are hanging in the midst of everything, like you're not here, and yet, you're not there. You know? Lol!

I wanted to stay for Maths tutorial, since I couldn't do the questions, but I couldn't stay because time was up and I had to leave to ensure that I get enough rest. But at the same time, I wanted to leave because I was expecting myself to not be able to concentrate, lol!

When we got to VCH it was horrible. It was pouring and pouring. And I just thought, well, what a good day to rain, especially when it's FRIDAY THE 13th. Lol. But I shouldn't be so superstitious. Oh well. And I was really eager at that point of time, because I was hoping that people would really come and support my first ever performance... Good news! Our tickets were actually sold out! So we got full house. =]

We had to rush everything, I guess the guys were more relaxed, because they didn't have things like making sure your hair's properly done, make-up, gown, shoes, etc, while we had ALL of those. Being a girl can be really irritating at times, but because we are girls, we do enjoy dolling up ourselves. Haha, even Ann Nee agrees with me. Wait... Was it Yasi or Ann Nee? Gosh, can't remember. Anyway, I don't know how I managed to do my hairstyle, somehow I was just experimenting with my hair one night before the concert, and it turned out well, so I decided to just do that hairdo. Woot! I'll post up a picture of a family photograph once get them from my cousin. =]

What made me really happy was... I saw people I knew amongst the crowd... But of course, could only see them while I stood on stage. Haha! While we were perfoming Tres Cantos, I saw Nicholas pointing at me and laughing... ARGH! I was supposed to keep a straight face, but he just kept laughing and that made me want to laugh! I did, actually, but managed to get back into the srious mood o fthe song. So, next time if there's another concert, I am going to just look at the conductor and forget about looking for my friends/family among the crowd! The first few songs we did was horrible. We were rushing through them. Even Ms. Ong couldn't stop us from rushing through. Sopranos sounded horrible, but I guess no one could have helped it, because we were nervous. TOO nervous, in fact. But people couldn't tell what mistakes we made... So I guess it's okay. But we have got to make sure that that doesn't happen for SYF, especially when the judges are professionals! Jia you, NYJChoir! Woots!

After intermission, when we got up the stage once again... I heard people cheering for choir members. The thought that cam eot my mind was, "Will my friends cheer for me?" Then, I decided to just dismiss the thought because 75% of me was telling myself that that would not happen. Towards the end of the cheering, I heard shoutings. And then I heard my name! At that point in time, I was so glad, I kept smiling. This is the first time my heart truly leapt for joy. I never expected my friends to support me in this manner! During the second half of the concert, it was, of course, more exciting as there were more movements. I truly enjoyed my moment on stage though... I thought I had lost my voice and can't possibly sing, but amazingly, I did manage to sing and do warm ups... Thank God for that. =]

Encore. I was hoping to hear that word. I wanted to just jump off stage and give everyone I see a hug. We weren't allowed to go off-stage to speak to our friends and family who came, so I was hoping people'd call for Encore, so that at least we could move down the aisle while singing. And it DID happen! Haha. As I was walking down the aisle, I was worried that I may go off-pitch. I've been too dependent on listening to the person next to me singing the Sop 2 parts... It'd be very embaressing if I went off pitch. Haha, amazingly, I didn't go THAT off pitch. But seeing my church friends, friends and family, really made me happy. With just their presence, I felt that they were supporting me and that nothing else is needed.

What's more... I never expected myself to receive flowers... I knew Chu Xian and the others were going to get them for me, but... I never expected to get like 18 stalks of flowers! It's the first tiem i got so much! I was really happy because it just goes to show all the support I got from my friends!
